finally found a few on Sardis,,,

Got up early and got out on the lake around 7:30... the guy at the bait shop told me fish shallow,,,, That's where the fish are at,,,, So I start out at Clear Creek and fish shallow with no avail,,, In fact no fish at all really to speak of on my finder at 6 ft but I notice at 22 ft I see A ton of fish,,, Nothing biting for at least an hour spider rigging back and forth, back and forth,,, Then I decided to make a move where I found my last few fish,,,, Ran out to Holiday near the trees and at 20 ft of water,, I got into a few trees with feesh,,,, Pulled in 4 straight away and then a cat... Moved, fished a few more trees and a few more fish....5 white crappie with eggs still and 1 black crappie all spawned out,,,So around 10 am the wind picked up and things went to pot,,,, I pulled out by noon and home by 2 pm,,, Not a bad day seeing how fish continue to baffle most..

Congrats

sweet

Well.......to me its been like that everywhere this year....I went to Reelfoot last week and same thing there

no fish in clear creek anyway but the Holiday area has it going on

G, were the gills bout ready at the Foot? Shud be getting bout time there, and they have some gooduns.

Caught a few dinks over across the pond in Piney Creek I think it's called,,, But nothing Big enough to keep..

Did not do any good with the gills either......only thing we caught was barfish and drum.....same thing with everybody we talked to.

This year has been a tough one for patterning crappie. First the weather was cold to hot to cold and windy to windier and rain rain rain. Only in Mississippi can we have 4 seasons in one week. Crappie didn't know from one day to the other wheather to spawn or go deep again. I keep a log from one year to the other trying to figure the crappie out and this years I have not been able to make heads nor tails of what when why or where. I have read a lot of different post on crappie in Mississippi and everyone is having a rough crappie year so far. Maybe the summer time will bring better fishing.:dono That is if it doesn't snow in June and July.:crazy:

scrat,,,, from what I'm hearing from most is that the fish this year is no longer on the same side of the lake s usual,,, They went from Clear Creek last year to Holiday side this year,,, East to west,,,North to south type of movement,,,If you think about it,,,, The winds once again have changed and with that... It may be too late for the crappie to move seeing most are spawning right now so they will stay put until it's over,, So maybe it's just time to try places where most haven't fished before,,,, This is only my second year chasing these evil fish, but it's not too far fetched to believe they are creatures of climate rather then habit,,,

they was def in clear creek last year fo sho!!! not sure where they be at now...i found them one day in another location and went back next day only to catch 2
